Dr. Douglas Troutman, DO

I wanted to make sure to write this review because I see a couple negatives that couldn’t be further from my experience with him.He performed my splenal artery aneurysm surgery perfectly. His bedside manner is and was perfectly fine and I would recommend him to anyone needing a vascular surgeon. Knowledgeable, efficient and polite-

Dismissive, Does surgeries that do not address the problem, Does not read charts and during my final appointment with him before seeking help elsewhere he had no memory of ever performing a surgery on me in the first place, while in the same sentence dismissing all of my concerns and recommending that i get another surgery. Difficult to get information out of and seemingly poorly trained.

Untruthful: Dr. Troutman claimed he told me to see a hematologist after my first visit with him. He did. Had he referred me he would have given me the name and contact information as part of the referral and he hadn’t. Condescending: He did not inform me of that I had to take Eliquis for the rest of my life. He stated it is expensive and insurance companies don’t want to pay for it. When asked “How much is it per month?” He said $1 000 but you don’t want to go down that path. My daughter said, “We’re able to cover the cost. She needs this medication.” Dr. Troutman does not get to decide for me which path I go down when it comes to acquiring my lifesaving medication. Disrespectful: Dr. Troutman hadn't taken time to review my chart. He talked to my 50 yr old daughter instead of me an 80 yr old, even after knowing that I was the patient. Save yourself some frustration, disrespect, and bad medical advice. Go to a doctor other than Dr. Troutman.

Dr Troutman: has been great handling my leg wound with NO surgery. Takes his time. Listens to and answers all questions. Easy to talk too. Easy to make appointments.

Dr Troutman was informative and positive during appointment

Dr. Troutman is very arrogant and condescending. You can spot his ego from a mile away. It's almost like he gets off on making other people feel bad about themselves.

Dr. Troutman has been looking after my vEDS and varicose veins for over a year. Recently he did a procedure to eliminate the varicose veins in my right leg, due to frequent pain. The procedure was painless and I was able to return to work the same day. Scheduling is easy and there are really no wait times. Dr. Troutman is very knowledgeable and knows exactly what route of treatment is required.

Saved my husband's life, when he presented with a ruptured aneurysm

Found him to be very pompous and arrogant. Didn't review test results and was ready to send home even though he was brought in as a consult for indicated surgery. Made an error that could have been very grave during surgery requiring a second hospital stay, a much longer recovery time and just brushed it off as it was a common complication. Upon reviewing medical journals and speaking with surgeons in the field was informed it's far from common.

Brusque, unsympathetic. Seemed little concerned when I mentioned side effects of medication. Needs to learn empathy, if such a thing can be learned.
